This was a hard one for me to review.
It didn’t grab me like usual thrillers do and I had to persevere with it before I felt things started to happen. However, the author has tackled the issue domestic abuse in a hard hitting and powerful way.
The characters are likeable and you sympathise with them hugely about the injustice of domestic abuse and how helpless the women feel. But I felt the plot was predictable and sluggish - some parts were very drawn out. This book could have been developed a lot more and made more exciting but just cutting out some of the more mundane parts and making the pace feel quicker.
If it hadn’t of been for the shock factor of the domestic abuse stories, I’m not sure I would have continued reading this book.
